12v house battery replacement
I haven't seen this asked anywhere. So I am looking to replace my house batteries and wanted to know what would be the best replacement for full time living. I've seen that they range from $350i...

Hi Bigcheezuz,
I agree with Desert Captain getting a pair of 6V-AGM batteries as long as your battery compartment can handle their taller height.
We went through two pairs of 12V wet acid batteries over the years with our Phoenix Cruiser. Each pair lasted only 3 years and their performance decreased significant with each year. I decided to replace the second tired set with a pair of 6V-AGM batteries. That was in the spring of 2015. Five years so far and their performance continues to be excellent.
I bought the 6V-AGM Duracell-brand batteries from Sams Club for $180 each, but I wonder if they discontinued that battery because I can't find them any longer on Sams Club's website.
Doing a quick search, I found Batteries Plus selling the Magna Power 6V-AGM for $275 which is a lot more than Sams Club. CLICK HERE to see the battery on their website. Order on-line and pick-up at your local store for a 10% discount.
I would consider one 12V or two 6V lithium batteries, but our on-board Tripp-Lite charger/converter/inverter does not handle lithium technology.....and I really like our Tripp-Lite.
